  1. No, certainly didn't trade every year. Dad never had a new one. These showed up on local used car lot I guess.
  2. I'm on extreme left - no twins. thanks
  3. Doggone it, couldn't find the '54's, but found two earlier ones - '51 and '53 my guess - you experts will set me straight !
  4. Tonight I will look, think I have one of the Super.
  5. Just read your impressive list of cars. I learned to drive on a 1954 Super 2-dr hardtop, burgundy with white top. Got my license and then Dad had a 1954 Century 4-dr sedan, 2-tone green, the seller said he had just installed a brand new 4-bbl carb, all of $70 !!. I mentioned the Century as a major part of a remembrance on a Facebook family page which I called "Once We Lived Large", in 1964 we went to Chicago and stayed at a major hotel - Goldwater's VP running mate was staying at this hotel !! My one strong remembrance of the trip was a uniformed doorman driving our 10 year old car away from the front door area. (We were more of a Super 8 family). And the car was a bit weather beaten looking.
  6. Very first load in his brand new trailer (last week).
  7. My son-in-law, he's in Missoula, that area is his usual. Big Sky Shipping & Recovery 406-396-4291. He is very careful.
  8. AVGWARHAWK Dad had a 54 Super 2-dr hdtp and a 54 Century 4 dr. He bought the Century around 1964, the seller said it had a brand new 4 bbl carb that cost $70. That sounded like a lot of money at the time. I drove the Century when I turned 16 that same year.
  9. I now have the windshield washer jar thanks to fellow member here.
  10. Tahiti Coral/Dover White. Thanks everyone. It's strange - some don't even look twice, some can't seem to tear themselves away. Black/white interior would not have been my first choice, but it's growing on me. Has tissue dispenser under dash.
  11. I bought the car in January. Anyone recognize her? Needs brake work but I'm happy so far.
  12. Arizona Vintage Parts $79.99 - anyone have experience with them? Also need speedometer.
  13. Odometer works but speedo is bats--t crazy !
  14. Anyone offering custom fit carpeting for 1956?
  15. The two boys on the trike are in or on the '57, can you pick them out?
  16. Yahoo! Yes a button under the dash. thanks again everyone. But what was I thinking? I had a Special 51 years ago, Sorry for the other photo, I clicked it by mistake and couldn't get rid of it.
  17. Thanks a million. Tahiti Coral & Dover White
  18. Just bought my first Buick - a 1956 Special 46R. Transport driver fired it up and drove it off the trailer into my garage. Now I can't get it started. Finally noticed the middle position on the ignition is "ON" not the right which is "OFF". Thought OK. But no. I know your'e supposed to push the accelerator, right? Also. what grade of gasoline? Any good motor oil will do? thanks
  19. Thinking of buying one for parts - especially the Belvedere side trim. Anyone need anything else?
